Illustrating Alaska:

Artists Making Children's Books

We’re creating an exhibit that will open at the Alaska State Museum and travel around the state, that explores the process behind bookmaking. Illustrating children’s books is a job for these Alaskan artists: Evon Zerbetz [woodblock prints], Michaela Goade [watercolor and digital], Mitchell Watley [drawing and digital] and Jim Fowler [painting]. It’s difficult and it’s fun. They each approach the task in different ways, with different media, but there are similarities in the steps they take.

This is an exhibit for young people, and we want to answer questions that kids have. Learn more about that here.
